Thanks for all the input guys and gals.

Before I put the ingredients to compost, I mashed and chopped the crap out of it, and what I was left with almost looked liked finished compost. The ingredients got fairly warm in just a day, when sticking my hand in the middle I could notice a heat fluctuation. I then peed in it as suggested, and left it to bake in the sun. I wasn't home for a day, and when I got back my father in law had dumped the bucket into the yard waste and took it to the street, so all that good stuff got wasted. He had thought it was waste left in a bucket that got filled with rain water, so he wanted to get rid of it. Kind of sucks, my experiment got a little side tracked, but I am confident that I can produce a good compost in a 5 gallon bucket in the hot sun in San Diego. I do have a 3x3x4 bin I made out of chicken wire, but am having a hard timefilling it up, so I think I'll do my experiment again, but make sure everyone knows what I'm doing so that doesn't happen again. I'm gonna drill some holes in the bucket this time and paint it black to speed up the process, but will track my progress as the days pass. I'm excited to see what happens, and expect it to be finished in about a months time in my climate, especially with the hot summer soon aproaching. So thank you for giving me the idea, and I look forward to sharing my progress.
